ASX Release
29 October 2021
Dart Mining Activities Report for the Quarter Ended 30 September 2021
Dart Mining NL (ASX: DTM) (“Dart”, “Dart Mining” or “the Company”) is pleased to present its Quarterly Report for the three month period ending 30 September 2021 and to provide commentary and an update to Shareholders.
Commenting on the Quarter, Managing Director James Chirnside said:
“Over the quarter Dart Mining completed an extensive Geophysical survey at Granite Flat and identified multiple drill targets for deep diamond drilling during the remainder of 2021. Interpretation of a recently undertaken LiDAR survey has identified more than 200 likely Lithium pegmatites for follow up with ground confirmation, which is now underway. Reconnaissance sampling on the Mt Elmo Goldfield was undertaken during the quarter, revealing quartz vein mineralisation, repeated on multiple adjacent structures. Overall, it was a very busy quarter in the field, and we will be making good use of the finer weather right through to the end of year with ongoing drilling and geochemical sampling. Subsequent to the end of the quarter we successfully raised over $2.7m via oversubscribed private placement which will be applied directly to Dart’s flagship projects in North East of Victoria”

OPERATIONS REPORT
GRANITE FLAT Cu-Au PORPHYRY PROJECT
Geophysical Survey Completed Across Granite Flat Cu-Au Porphyry Project
Fender Geophysics was contracted to acquire Induced Polarisation (IP) and Magneto-Telluric (MT) geophysical survey data across the Granite Flat project. Recent drilling competed by Dart Mining at Granite Flat in Northeast Victoria has highlighted strong potential for bulk tonnage, porphyry-style Cu-Au mineralisation (Dart ASX 8th March 2021).
The survey was completed after some disruption because of limitations on cross border personnel movements. The aim of the survey was to test the prospective porphyry mineralisation system through six 2.4 km IP and MT survey lines situated across Cu-Au soil anomalies, drill holes demonstrating long Cu-Au intersections and across remanent magnetism anomalies identified in open-file aeromagnetic data (Dart ASX 27th May 2021). The survey was the first application of the Advanced Geophysical Technologies gDAS-32 system in Australia, allowing IP and MT data to be collected on a single array.
Targets Generated from the IP/MT Survey
The Fender Geophysics survey over 14.4 km of survey lines has enabled mapping of IP and MT anomalies to depths of approximately 550m and 1100m respectively. The geophysical signature is marked by a series of moderate to large chargeability anomalies that outline a broad, roughly elliptical structure. The multiple chargeability zones are coincident with elevated resistivity, are typically removed from any mapped structures, and in several instances lie beneath mapped outcrops of granitic porphyry, aplitic dykes or mafic intrusions.

Figure 1 – Selected 2D chargeability inversion models overlain with drillhole orientation and depth, demonstrating the limited depth extent of existing drilling in relation to identified targets. No vertical exaggeration.
Nine preliminary geophysical targets have been identified from IP anomalies for drilling. Pending results from these first-order targets, smaller subsidiary chargeability and MT anomalies will be drilled in a second phase. Preference has been given to larger, and often deeper high chargeability anomalies with coincident high or very high resistivity values which may represent large regions of disseminated porphyry-style mineralisation at depth (e.g., Target IP1 & Target IP2; Figure 1 above). Chargeability anomalies from Granite Flat show strong similarities with those obtained from the Productora copper porphyry project in Chile, where globular high changeabilityhigh resistivity zones have been demonstrated to be pyrite shells, with intervening low chargeability-high resistivity zones indicative of chalcopyrite core zones (Hot Chilli ASX Oct 2015). Similarly, early drilling of IP anomalies at Cadia-Ridgeway in NSW intersected a pyrite-albite halo, with increased chalcopyrite, bornite, gold at depth below this resulting in the world-class discovery.

==> picture [210 x 10] intentionally omitted <==
Target IP1: A large zone of high chargeability and high resistivity approximately 800m wide (see Figure 1 above). Nearby drilling, including long drilling intercepts of low-grade Cu-Au mineralisation, recent RC holes to 180m demonstrating highly anomalous Cu values throughout the length of the holes, associated potassic alteration, outcropping granitic porphyry and a large soil Cu anomaly (Dart ASX 8th March 2021; Dart ASX 14th September 2021) are positive indicators of mineralisation. Drill testing of Target IP1 is slated to begin within the coming weeks, upon completion of the current diamond drill hole.
Target IP2: Marked by a zone of high chargeability and high resistivity approximately 300m wide. Although Target IP2 has not yet been intercepted by drilling, the zone directly above it has returned several rewarding gold and copper drill intercepts, including 88m @ 0.3 g/t Au (DD92BO1), 58m @ 0.84 g/t Au & 50m @ 0.2% Cu (DD92BO2) and 26m @ 0.2 g/t Au (RC93BO13) (Dart ASX 27th October 2020; Figure 1 above).
Target IP3: A relatively shallow target at approximately 100m below surface and situated beneath outcropping granitic porphyry and a notable coincident soil Cu anomaly. It is also proximal to the silicasulphide breccia at Sulphide Shaft and to Crawley’s workings which shows disseminated sulphide mineralisation in granodiorite (Figure 1 above). Shallow drilling in nearby DDHGF3 identified potassic alteration, disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite stringer vein mineralisation (Cuffley, 1987).
Other Targets: Six additional, similar high chargeability-high resistivity anomalies have been identified by this IP survey and will be progressively drill tested. Notably Target IP8 (see Figure 1 above) lies adjacent to a mafic dyke identified in outcrop and magnetic response, and previous diamond drilling (DDHGF6) identified both potassic and propylitic alteration associated with disseminated pyrite above the chargeability anomaly identified here (Cuffley, 1988). Current site access and low impact work programs means that eight of these targets can be readily included in an initial diamond drilling program. Approximately 2400m of diamond drilling is required to work up these first phase targets.

MT ELMO GOLDFIELD
Introduction & Overview
Dart Mining undertook reconnaissance sampling on the Mt Elmo Goldfield to gauge indications of mineralisation style, extent, and grade. Preliminary results indicate quartz-vein mineralisation, repeated on multiple adjacent structures (Figures 1 & 2 – ASX 22/09/21, see below), and with good potential for stockwork mineralisation and wider, high-grade shoots. The combination of field mapping, sampling, and interpretation of airborne LiDAR mapping of the area (Dart ASX 18th March 2021) has identified a series of parallel, northnorthwest trending and steeply northeast dipping structures. Mineralisation is hosted by vein-style, silicasulphide mineralisation, typically 0.3–0.6 m wide, although occasionally widening to >1m in width and forming steeply plunging shoots typical of Northeast Victorian orogenic gold systems.

The Mt Elmo Goldfield appears to demonstrate remarkable continuity of mineralisation along significant strike lengths, and the addition of repeated, parallel structures suggests good potential for a viable exploration project. Although further exploration is needed, this project suggests good indications of width potential via the close proximity of multiple vein systems, and broader zones of stockworking associated with these veins. Additional shoots of high-grade gold mineralisation are indicated by historic records, which indicate notable volumes of high-grade ore (e.g., 123 tonnes @ 103 g/t from the Highland Chief, Upper Murray & Mitta Mitta Herald, 1903) and supported by chip samples at 38 g/t (70448), mullock grab samples of 64 g/t (sample 70454) and 202 g/t Au (Caluzzi, 1995).
Two particularly long and continuous lines of workings, the Smythe & Willard and the Goodwin & Shea lines can be traced over a strike extent of 4.0 km, although the Premier Mine to the north, and the Redjacket (beyond the scale of (Figure 1 – ASX 22/09/21) and other associated workings to the south suggest that the strike extent of the mineralised system may extend over 8.5 km. Gold mineralisation is hosted in association with abundant pyrite and arsenopyrite, with the gold mineralisation itself hosted in gold tellurides (calaverite, AuTe2; Figure 3a– ASX 22/09/21), with minor lead and copper sulphides present (galena and covellite replacement of chalcopyrite; Graham & Masterton, 1987).
Sampling
Of the eleven reconnaissance samples collected across selected and accessible areas of the Mt Elmo Goldfield, all but one display encouraging gold mineralisation (>1 g/t Au), including 1m @ 7.0 g/t Au, 0.2m @ 38.3 g/t Au & 22 g/t Ag, 0.2m @ 13.5 g/t Au and a grab sample at 64.2 g/t Au (Figures 1 & 2– ASX 22/09/21). All gold assay results are shown in Table 1– ASX 22/09/21, with additional base metal assay values in Appendix 1. Sampling from the Victoria workings was completed along the backs every 50m down the drive, along with a mullock grab sample (69575). All chip samples from the Victoria workings include 0.2-0.3m wide laminated silica-sulphide mineralisation with abundant pyrite and arsenopyrite hosted within sheared argillite (Figure 3b– ASX 22/09/21). Three short chip samples were collected from accessible portions of the Wizard Prince workings which included two samples of silica-sulphide mineralisation (70448, 70449) and one sample of altered sandstone displaying disseminated pyrite and jarosite. The remaining samples from the Highland Chief and Monarch workings (samples 70451-70454) are comprised of silica-sulphide mullock grab samples, including a 15cm grab sample from the Monarch workings which assayed at 64.2 g/t Au and displays visible calaverite (Figure 3a– ASX 22/09/21).
Detailed data processing and ongoing review of LiDAR and supplementary geospatial data collected across the Mt Elmo Goldfield by GeoCloud Analytics Ltd. has identified a significant number of previously unmapped historic mine sites and workings and has been able to resolve differences in the character of historic tin and gold workings enabling accurate, high-resolution mapping and drastically increasing efficiencies in the field (e.g., Figures 1 & 2– ASX 22/09/21). Additionally, LiDAR imagery has clearly identified drill access tracks and pads that were constructed by Stonewick Enterprises Ltd in the late 1980s but never utilised.

DORCHAP LITHIUM PROJECT
LCT Pegmatite Drill Targets
The Company identified drill targets through an extensive regional sampling campaign (Dart ASX July 2021). Assessment of assay results and site access has narrowed down four preliminary targets that can be drill tested via low impact exploration programs, which can be accessed directly from existing tracks. These sites include three pegmatite dykes in the Dorchap Range (the “Eagle”, “Fergussons” and “Blairs” dykes) and one at Glen Wills (Bluejacket Dyke). An additional three targets have been identified away from existing access, thereby requiring standard exploration workplans and more extensive planning and preparation to develop drill access to the sites. These sites are the Boones, Gosport, and Scrubby dykes, which have demonstrated spodumene and petalite lithium mineralisation. Preparation of standard workplans is currently underway, and these targets will be drill tested in a subsequent drilling phase once all permits have been approved.
The Eagle Dyke is the primary target for upcoming drilling, at 550m long and a width ranging up to 80m (Figure 1), with spodumene mineralisation identified in outcrop and confirmed by XRD analysis (Dart ASX April 2017; Dart ASX June 2019). A peak sampling result from the Eagle Dyke includes a channel sample of 10m at 0.95% Li2O in a road cutting on the Dorchap Track. Roadside drilling of the Eagle Dyke in 2019 was significantly hampered by access to the to the site, with a peak result of 20m at 0.33% Li2O (Dart ASX June 2019). Exposure of a firebreak across the Eagle Dyke during fires and controlled burns in the summer of 2020 and in March 2021 means the dyke can be accessed without disturbing any vegetation, allowing access to the site through a low impact exploration program. Access via the firebreak that transects the Eagle Dyke will allow a true assessment of the depth and style of lithium mineralisation across the dyke (Figure 1). Six RC drill holes, for ~550m of drilling are proposed to target pegmatite mineralisation on the Eagle Dyke, to a maximum depth of 90m.
Additional targets in the Dorchap Range include the Blair’s and Fergusson’s Dykes, both of which are bisected by the Dorchap Track and host confirmed spodumene mineralisation in both hand specimen and XRD analysis. Outcrop exposure of both the Fergusons and Blairs dykes is poor, although testing includes peak results of 5.6m at 0.54% Li2O and 2m at 0.47% Li2O and 0.14% SnO2 , respectively. At Glen Wills the Bluejacket Dyke is directly bisected by a forestry track, providing excellent drill access. Peak results from the Bluejacket Dyke include 16m at >530ppm Cs2O, 0.32% Li2O, and 104 ppm Ta2O5 (Dart ASX July 2021). The Bluejacket Dyke spans 350 x 50m, although reconnaissance indicates it likely continues along strike to the north and south of its presently mapped extent. Three holes are proposed across each of the Fergusson’s, Blair’s and Bluejacket dykes, for a maximum of 300m of drilling per dyke.
Project Background
Dart Mining geologists first identified the lithium prospectivity of pegmatite dykes in the Dorchap Range in 2016 and set about acquiring exploration leases across the region (Dart ASX May 2016; Dart ASX August 2016). These are the first recorded lithium pegmatites identified in Victoria, and are believed to have been sourced from the nearby Mount Wills Granite. A regional sampling program consisting of 826 samples has identified a strong fractionation trend across the Dorchap Range, resolving a 20 x 12 km zone of strongly fractionated pegmatites bearing enriched Li, Cs, Ta, Be and Sn mineralisation (Dart ASX July 2021). Dart Mining’s chip sampling program has seen some rewarding results, including: 16m at >530 ppm Cs2O, 0.32% Li2O and 104 ppm Ta2O5, and grab samples at 1.57% Li2O and 0.1% Ta2O5 at the Bluejacket Dyke in Glen Wills, along with 10m at 0.95% Li2O from the Eagle Dyke and 10m at 1.38% Li2O from the Holloway Dyke (Dorchap Range), and 10m at 1.22% Li2O from Scrubby Dyke, 1m at 838 ppm Cs2O and 0.46% SnO2 , and a grab sample at 9.98% SnO2 from elsewhere in the Dorchap Range (Dart ASX July 2021). The initial, short drilling program in 2019 has been followed by an airborne LiDAR mapping program in early 2021 (Dart ASX March 2021), which has allowed additional, detailed mapping of pegmatite dykes that were previously overlooked in pockets of dense bush across the Dorchap Range.
